Museums are places of wonder—portholes to history, beauty, and inspiration. For some, museums represent a kind of fantasy, whether that involves living in the Met—some of those 17th-century beds do look pretty comfy—or hanging out with an animated dinosaur skeleton.

Everyone can find a museum that appeals to their specific interests. There are museums dedicated to nearly anything one could imagine: from ice cream and PEZ memorabilia to a museum dedicated to mustard. There’s even a museum devoted exclusively to bad art.

Newseum is one of the most interactive museums in existence. This establishment is dedicated to the importance of a free press and the First Amendment, and features exhibits like “1968: Civil Rights at 50,” and an interactive newsroom where visitors can play the role of a newscaster. However, not everyone is thrilled by the museum’s mission or location.

At $25 dollars a pop, tickets to the Whitney Museum of American Art certainly don’t come cheap, but that’s the price of viewing world-class art in New York City. Recent exhibitions include work by Andy Warhol and David Wojnarowicz, both of which affirm the museum’s commitment to “the full range of twentieth-century and contemporary American art.” Though a recent location change did ruffle some feathers, the new space does seem to be growing on the public at large.
